New Resource: Opportunity Cost Module

opportunity cost module thumbnail

Begin your students' exploration of economics with an engaging and easy-to-understand introduction to the concept of opportunity cost.  Using the story of Jon and Marshall's post-high school graduation plans, students evaluate decisions that come when choices have to be made.

This module is designed for a high school audience and should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete.  There are interactive features that help kids evaluate their decision-making process and knowledge checks to ensure they are understanding the material.

Teachers can easily add the module to most learning management systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, which also contains a self-grading assessment after students complete the work.
